In 1989 Bob Lazar appeared on Las Vegas TV with George Knapp claiming he had worked on reverse engineering alien craft at a facility called S-4 near Area 51. He described propulsion using Element 115. In 2003 Element 115 (moscovium) was synthesized and confirmed to exist. This is a complete review of Lazar’s claims and their verification status.

The Journal of Scientific Exploration (JSE), published by the Society for Scientific Exploration, has been peer-reviewing UAP research since 1987. Founded by former NASA scientists and academics, JSE is the only major academic journal that has continuously published rigorous UAP research. Its archives are the academic backbone of serious UAP study.

In December 2017, Lue Elizondo, Chris Mellon, and investigative journalists Leslie Kean and Ralph Blumenthal published the New York Times article that revealed AATIP. Three Navy UAP videos were released simultaneously. The story went global in hours. This is the complete account of how it happened.

Liberation Times obtained the Pentagon’s formal response to a query about whether the government has discovered materials of non-human origin. The answer — unable to confirm or deny — is itself significant. ‘NCND’ language is the official US government posture on its most sensitive programs. This is the written record.

On June 24, 1947 Kenneth Arnold reported seeing nine shiny objects flying near Mount Rainier at speeds he estimated at 1,700 mph. His report coined the term ‘flying saucer’ and triggered the modern UAP era. Liberation Times took a fresh analytical look at what Arnold actually witnessed — and whether the Air Force’s explanations hold up.

Liberation Times reported Congressional confrontation with Lockheed Martin over alleged UAP legacy programs. The Wilson-Davis memo directly names Lockheed as holding a crash retrieval program. Congressional pressure mounted as the 2023 hearings approached. Lockheed has never directly responded to the allegations.

Liberation Times documented the moment Senator Marco Rubio, then chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, asked what has become one of the most famous questions in UAP disclosure history. His reaction to UAP whistleblower testimony — and what the whistleblowers told him — is now part of the congressional record.

The Senate Intelligence Committee formally proposed amnesty provisions for defense contractors who voluntarily disclosed possession of materials ‘of non-earth origin or exotic nature’ obtained via UAP programs. Liberation Times reported this extraordinary provision — it presupposes contractors are holding exactly what Grusch alleged.

Liberation Times April 23, 2026: A late senior Air Force officer has been linked to alleged UAP legacy programs. Christopher Sharp reports new details about the connection between the officer’s work and classified UAP program infrastructure. Identity and details of the connection.

Liberation Times May 3, 2026: Christopher Sharp investigates whether AARO can be trusted to tell the public what it knows about UAP. Whistleblowers say AARO has classified information it isn’t sharing. The hearings say the responses are ‘insufficient.’ So what does AARO actually know?

On September 9, 2025 the House Oversight Task Force on Declassification held a UAP hearing titled ‘Restoring Public Trust Through UAP Transparency and Whistleblower Protection.’ George Knapp testified. Witnesses told the task force that AARO possesses classified UAP information not shared with Congress. Full record here.

In August 2025, AARO hosted a private workshop with civilian researchers, universities, and government agencies to standardize UAP data collection. A Debrief report from February 26, 2026 detailed the workshop outcomes — including plans for structured public data sharing. This is AARO’s most significant institutional shift toward civilian collaboration.

On May 8, 2026 the Department of War launched PURSUE — the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters. 162 files released. war.gov/UFO is live. DOW statement: ‘in lockstep with President Trump to bring unprecedented transparency.’ Here is everything you need to know about what was released.

The AARO Historical Record Report Volume I was released February 2024. The Pentagon said it found no evidence of recovered craft or hidden programs. But the report’s own findings tell a more complicated story — Project SAUCER, Robertson Panel, AATIP, and 50+ years of USG UAP investigation are all documented inside.

On July 26 2023, three witnesses testified before Congress under oath: David Grusch (IC whistleblower), Ryan Graves (Navy pilot), and David Fravor (Nimitz TicTac pilot). Grusch alleged craft of non-human origin. Graves documented unreported UAP encounters. Fravor described the TicTac. This is the full record.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna set an April 14, 2026 deadline for the Pentagon to hand over 46 military UAP videos. The deadline was missed. A War Department official then confirmed AARO is working with the White House to prepare releases — the acknowledgement that prompted PURSUE one week later.

Multiple sources told Liberation Times that senior intelligence figures James Clapper (DNI) and Stephanie O’Sullivan (PDDNI) oversaw a UAP-related program within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence during the Obama administration. Never previously reported.

On February 3, 2026, Corbell and Knapp released footage from a US Air Force MQ-9 Reaper near the Syria-Jordan border. A mushroom-shaped object with no wings, control surfaces, or propulsion system achieved a weapons-grade target lock — then instantly accelerated and disappeared. Five Eyes classified it as UAP.

Congressional leadership abandoned full enactment of the UAP Disclosure Act. It was not included in the final NDAA for FY2026. The UAPDA — which would have mandated declassification of UAP records and established an independent review board — is dead for this legislative cycle.

Liberation Times sources confirm Matthew Sullivan was directly involved in the technical aspects of a UAP legacy program concerning a craft ‘believed to be possibly of non-human origin.’ He conducted this work through a private company collaborating with US intelligence. He was scheduled to testify. He is dead.
